I was wondering if anyone was going to pick up on that, or if it was too early in the morning for the brain to function properly.... ;-)

I know the sign reads "3,100 + feet", but I believe that shaft was actually much deeper. I will have to do a little research from my information at home this evening and report back.

Love the 'itty-bitty' AirStream next to the Bucket...always wanted one of 'em. And yep, I finally got Capt. Paul's "point". Guess I'm runnin' a little slow this morning.

One question? Did Captain Paul get the lead out of his "pencil"? Another question, "what does he use to sharpen it"?

When i saw Capt Paul's comment i thought: "there's an age cut-off below which no one is going to catch the reference!" Didn't factor in the 'not awake' angle for people who sleep in passed 4am!

What a beautiful picture of the Buckett. My Grandparents home was across the street. The corner house on Phoenix Street.
